How much would it cost to get a ford escort repainted in a bright red?

My Ford Escort is currently bright red, and I want to get it repainted so that it looks like new. How much would it cost to get the car completely repainted in bright red?

Couple grand for a good job. Figure $3,000 plus for a factory quality finish.

1,000's. It depends who does it and exactly what you want to do yourself. If you want it fully stripped then the old paint prepared for 2 or 3 top coats then 2 or 3 clear coats. (The proper way) or just a mask everything, Give it all a rub down for the key for the new paint. Then 1 or 2 coats (1 Paint, 1 Clear) is obviously going to be a lot cheaper
